Background: NOW IN EAST AFRICAN WATERS ON A GOODWILL CRUISE, THE "HIPPER" -- A TRAINING FRIGATE OF THE WEST GERMAN NAVY -- IS MAKING A FIVE-DAY STAY THIS WEEK IN DAR-ES-SALAAM. SHE WAS VISITED YESTERDAY (WEDNESDAY) BY THE TANGANYIKAN PRESIDENT, MR. JULIUS NYERERE.

THE "HIPPER'S" COMMANDER, CAPTAIN NORDHEIMER, SAID THE VISIT HAD BEEN ARRANGED BECAUSE OF GERMANY'S LONG-STANDING TIES AND FRIENDSHIP WITH TANGANYIKA. HERR VON HASSEL, THE FEDERAL GERMAN DEFENSE MINISTER, HAD HIMSELF BEEN BORN THERE AND IT WAS HE WHO HAD SUGGESTED THE GOODWILL CALL.

ONCE A ROYAL NAVY VESSEL, THE FRIGATE -- NOW NAMED AFTER A GERMAN ADMIRAL OF WORLD WAR ONE -- IS CARRYING 55 CADETS ON A FOREIGN CRUISE, ENDING IN DECEMBER. FROM DAR-ES-SALAAM, SHE WILL SAIL TO PORT SUDAN, BEIRUT, AND THEN MARSEILLES.
